I think I used it more than once with an zeroed X register to hold my
index in the Y register (yes, the 6502 has only two registers and they
are used quite differently). That way you could load the accumulator
indirectly, do something limited with which uses the X register and
store it indirectly over the Y register. I had to fight for every byte
and my data wasn't aligned at all....


But it was of limited use, yes.
